As previously said with the ga as well, it will not be changed how it works just for 1 or 2 roles to win, a leaverbuster is coming after unity release and will solve most of these problems

The game should not be altered in a major way for the benefit of a few roles.

However, this should be implemented anyway. The best way to deal with leavers (as in, their immediate effect on the game, not their punishment) would be to have leavers simply be afk at first, and only suicide at the next end-of-night. This would both allow disconnects some time to rejoin, and avoid many of the unintended effects that leaving has on the game (e.g. mafia members leaving on the stand and thus allowing more mafia to be lynched, townies leaving in jail to save the jailor's exes, VIPs leaving after being outed, people leaving to spite executioners).
